PZESENTATION OP A PIECE OP PLATE TO MR. ALDERMAN GARRATT. Yesterday a Meeting of the inhabitants of Bridge was held at Fishmongers' Hall, for the purpose of pre senting a piece of plate to their Alderman. The plate, which cost between two and three hundred pounds, was purchased by subscription, Mr. Attvvood, M. P. as one of the inhabitants of the Ward, was called fib the Chair. He said the inhabitants were desirous bf conveying, in a distinct and lasting man ner, some expressions of their affection and regard for •their Alderman. It was not, however, solely on grounds of private respect that they would feel themselves war- ranted in proceeding so far out of the common course, but it was because they felt that under his superintendence, as Alderman, the interests and respectability of the Ward had been advanied; that under his care the honour of the Shrievalty had been maintained in a distinguished man ner; and that, as Lord Mayor, he had maintained the splendour, the respectability, and the hospitality of the dice in a manner which had secured to him the lasting respect of the city at large. , The following is the inscription on the plate : " Presented by - The INHABITANTS of the WARD of BRIDGE, Within the City of Loudon, In testimony of their affectionate regard, To their valuable and faithful Friend and Alderman, JOHN GARRATT, ESQ. And as a token of the sense which they entertain Of his estimable qualities in private life ; of the unceasing zeal which he has ever manifested for the interest of THIS WARD ; Of his honourable and . independent conduct, exemplified in the discharge of the important duties of Clnite MAGISTILAIS Of this Metropolis; Of the splendid hospitality displayed by him throughout his Mayoralty ; . . Embracing in that period the memorable act of his laying The first atone of a New LONDON BI4IIIOE, On which interesting occasion A most sumptuous Entertainment was provided by him for HIS IIOYAI. liIGJfl lea FREDERICK, DUKE OF YORK, Presumptive Heir to the Throne of these Realms, For the Members of Hie Majesty's Government, and for HIS reLLow-crrtztes. November, MDCCCXXV." Mr. Alderman Garrett then rose, evidently much agi tated. Any words which he could select would be insuf, ficient to express his feelings. Born in the Ward of Bridge, and a resident of it all his life, it would not be doubted that he had anxiously endeavoured to attend to its best in terests, and render it services; but those cervices would not have merited so high a reward, had not their kindness supplied the deficiency. lle concluded a feeling address by saying, " Gentlemen, whom I may truly call my friends, I accept with pleasure this beautiful mark of your appro bation and esteem. I will hand it down to my son, and charge him to appreciate it as highly as his father did be fore him; reminding him, the highest reward any indivi dual can receive, on this side of the grave, is the appro bation of the great and the good, such as those who now surround me."—(Loud and continued applause.) Thanks were voted to the Chairman, when the meet ing separated. A RARE SCENE. [We copy the following rich specimen of Irish originality from the Freeman's Journal :—We had always a shrewd guess that the Ladies on the other side the water were far better counsellors in their own case than the men, and this report proves at least that they know better how to turn the matter to good account.] THE FOUNDLING. HONTiIe47IIILET OFFICE.—On Saturday, Miss 'bail Murphy was brought before Mr. Blacker, charged . with stealing four pounds from Mi. James ticEvoy. Miss Murphy appeared with a very tine child, about four years old, in her arms ; she had engaged two female friends to act in the double capacity of witnesses and counsel on the occasion, and however deficient the ladies might have been in legal knowledge, they were nothing wanting in another requisite, namely, fluency of speech. Mr. James M'Evoy stated his own case. Please your Worship, this lady and I war taking a pint of porter to. gether, and I had four pounds in my hand, which she took from me, and refused to return. _ . Miss Ann Murphy—No such thing, your Worship, he gave it me on account. Magistrate-01 on account ; for services performed, I presume ? Miss Murphy—Yes, your Honour, we were fellow• servants together. Ist (Female) Counsel—Fellow-sarvants they were, your Worship, and she gave him credit for the V. 2d Counsel—They lived together, your. Honour. Mr. M'Evoy—l say she took the money from me, and its none of my child, I'll have nothing to do with it. Magistrate—A child; why this is a new part of the case. What about the child ? Miss Murphy.—Yes, your Worship, three years old last Easter. Hold up your head, honey, and let his Ho nour see your pretty face. There, your Worship, that's my child, and I'm not ashamed to own it. Magistrate.—Well, Mr. McEvoy, what have you to say about the child? MTvoy.—l say it's none of mine. Magistrate.—Why, man, it's the very image of you, you can't deny it. M'Evy.—l do deny it; rll have nothing to say to it. Ist Connote-0, you wicked skater, to forswear your own. _ . 2d Counsel.—Jemmy, you're a bad man to deny it. Magistrate,—Do you know any thing about this wo- , man ? M'Evoy.—l believe I do, a little. Magistrate.--Had you any intimacy with her—criminal intimacy, I mean ? Miss Murphy.—Yes, your Honour, he had. Both Counsel.—Aye, that he had, your Worship, and well lie knows it. Magistrate.—There, you see, the lady is not ashamed to own it. M'Evoy.—Why, you see, we were fellow-servants to gether, as she says. Nfagistrate.—And this is your child; as like you as possible in every feature. Ist Counsel.—You may say that, your Honour, and here is the bill for the nursing of the dear crature. The following account was then handed in for the Magistrate's perusal:— " IVfr. James M'Evoy, To Miss Alin Murphy, To three years sine* for nursing your child, groin March 80, 1828, up Much SO, 1826. LSO 0 0 By cash at sundry times, Via.

Will IVl‘Evoy. she swear it's my child ? I will, your honour. Miss Murphy. — Counsel. —`And so will I, your worship. 2d—And I too if needful.

M , Evoy.—l deny the child; and hope your will give me a clear acquittance of it. , Alagistrate.—l shall leave those three ladies to settle that with you. Mr. James MiEvoy then left the office four pounds poorer, and a child richer than he thought he was. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. Yesterday the period of the writ for the assembling of a new Parliament having expired, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Melville, &c. appeared the House of Lords soon after three o'clock. There was a " Writ," not a " Commission," on the present occasion, and it postponed the day of meeting. As this is a pro ceeding that seldom occurs, some difficulty, and several conferences took place with the various officers and clerks of the Houses of Parliament, as to the forms of proceeding that ought to be adopted. It is considered that there is no Parliament—the meeting, swearing in, &c. not having taken place ; consequently, as there is no Speaker, none could be summoned; and the Peers not having been sworn in, nor the Parliament assembled agreeably to the date of the writ, Commissioners for its prorogation or postponement could not be named. All attended in reality—Peers, clerks, officers, &c. in what is termed un dress, and no ceremonies, or recognition of one House by the other, took place. The Lord Chancellor appeared in front of the Wool sack, but without Peer's robes; the Usher and Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod (Sir T. Tyrwhitt and Mr. Quarme) were in ordinary dress, and without the staves of office ; and the Commons were not summoned to at tend below the bar. Mr. Courtenay, the Clerk of the Parliament, merely desired Mr. Quarme to open the lower doors to see whether any persons were in attendance from the Commons. Mr. W. Ley, the 3d Clerk at the table from the Com mons, and several of their Clerks, Officers, &c. attended, and then entered and walked up to the bar, but without the customary three bows. The Lord Chancellor, speaking from the Woolsack, and addressing the few Peers near him, afterwards without directing his words to the Representatives of the Com mons, declared, " That his Majesty bad been pleased to cause another writ to be issued under the Great Seal, dated Windsor, July 12, for proroguing the Parliament to Thursday, August 24." Mr. Courtney then read such writ. Mr. Wilbraham, the Deputy Clerk of the Crown Office—a certificate of the names of the 16 Peers chosen, summoned and certified to sit and vote in the House of Peers for Scotland, attended at their Lordships' table with the original returns, and the certificate was compared 'with the same, which was found and declared to be correct. The Lord Chancellor then bowed and retired, as did the other Peers, and the persons below the bar, who at tended on behalf of the Commons, also without any of the usual ceremony of bowing, &c. During the recess, the chamber in which the Lords asemble, its throne, &c. have been renovated, beautified, and regilt, and they look bright and splendid, aided as they are by the new festooning, rich scarlet covering to the benches and woolsacks. Those showy decorations much delighted the Peers, as well as the several strangers and Ladies who were collected below the bar. MPROVEMENTS ROUND ST. PAUL'S. On Monday a private Meeting of Gentlemen took place at the Mansion-house, for the purpoie of considering the propriety of adopting a plan submitted by Mr. Limes, the Actuary of the lEgis Assurance Office, for the improve ment of the neighbourhood of St. Paul's. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the Chair. Amongst the persons present were, Aldermen Wood and Thompson, Mr. Slade, Mr. Blades, Mr. Pellatt, &c. The drawing of the plan is beautiful in the extreme.-- In fact the change contemplated by the projector cannot be adequately described, except by the pencil, or the reality. The proposed improvements consist in removing to a proper distance, and rebuilding to a regular plan, all the houses round the present church-yard, and constructing two or three useful and necessary streets. The leading feature in the new design is , the building of a semi-circus at the west 'end of the editlee, divided by a, handsome square, and a splendid new street at right angles with. the meridian of the Cathedral, which terminates nearly in the centre of Crescent-place, Bridge-street. The semi-circus is then continued to the eastward, on both sides of the Cathedral, where, joining with St. Paul's School on the east, and to a grand opening near the south end of the new Post-office, it forms an alnphitheatre of splendid shops and handsome houses, which it is proposed to name the Amphitheatre of St. Paul ; near to the centre of the Am phitheatre parallel to the meridian of the Cathedral, and op . - posite to the transepts, are two other wide and handsome streets. That on the north crosses Paternoster-row, and termi nates in Newgate-street, and that on the south alittle below Thames-street, where it is proposed to build a new market, as midway between Hungerford Market and Billingsgate. This market will be appropriated to the sale of fish, poultry, fruit, vegetables,' and other similar produce that are brought down the river from the neighbourhood of Chelsea, Battersea, Fulham, Putney, 13rentford, and Isle worth. Another street will be formed opposite to the Old Bailey, by widening the passage into Water-lane, and carrying it obliquely into Earl-street. The importance of this street, leading . as it will from Blackfriars-bridge to Smithfield-market, is calculated upon as very great.— Amongst the leading advantages of this improvement to the public, will be the widening of all the approaches and avenues to and round the Cathedralonaking the north side passable, as well as the south side, for coaches, and faci- iitating the approaches to and from the new Post-office, by which means the Cathedral will be then thrown open to a proper vista. At the same time a due regard is to be paid both to profit and economy, as the new streets and am phitheatre will form the handsomest and best places for business in the City. The Lord Mayor was inclined to think, that it would be advisable to mix up this plan with a plan for the general improvement of the city. He was unwilling to do any thing that might have a tendency to commit the Corpora tion, and suggested an application to the Court of Corri;. men Council, .for the purpose of petitioning the Legisla ture on the subject. It was stated, that Government had already ;riven an answer, to the invitation to join for the general impro►e ment of the city, by, declaring that the city must manage to pay for its own improvements.—This answer, how ever, did 'not refer to national works, of which the im provement round St. Paul's seemed to be considered one of the greatest that could be accomplished. Lord Liver pool had mentioned upon the occasion, that the Govern. ment would be happy to co-operate with the city in a na- tional work. Of course some of the Meeting directed their atten tion to the expence likely to be incurred by an under taking of so stupendous a nature as this, whilst others who had witnessed the frightful jobs to which the City had been subject in almost all the new buildings undertaken at the instance of the Corporation, felt apprehensive of a continuance of such ruinous labours. It was universally admitted that the alteration proposed was magnificent in the extreme , but the expenees incurred by the building of the Custom-house and the Post-of f ice , stared the Meetin g in the face. Mr. Elms* combatted the argument of expence, by stating that the outlay would not exceed 1,200,0001. and the destruction of property would be confined to about 200,0004 ; the purchase of good-will and fixtures would amount to about 250,0001. and the purchase of freeholds would not exceed 750,0001. By the sale of the ol d build ing materials 30,000/. would be regained ; the ground" rent would produce 300,0001.; and the value of the re versionary interest would be so great, as to cover the other expellees, wi t h al ready alluded t o . It appear e d, that the exception of the 200,000!. strong praise of the Mr. Arbuthnot had expressed his plan; and it is believed that his Ma jesty and the Duke of York have manifested towards it approbation the most unequivocal. In the course of the discussion of its merits, it was stated, that the City of Dublin had become one of the most beautiful cities in the world, by the annual grant of 20,0001. or 30,0001. clear from Parliament ; and it wu regretted that Commission-' ers were not appointed in the same manner to superintend improvements in this Metropolis. After considerable discussion, it was agreed that A lder man Wood, and Mr. Hickof Cheapside, who are going to'consult Lord Liverpool, on the subject of the Post office or the Custom-house, in the course of the week, should incidentally mention the subject of the improve ment contemplated, with the view of obtaining the sanc tion of Government. A Petition is also to be drawn up, and presented to the Court of Common Council, upon the subject. The meeting was founded upon a letter from Mr. Arbuthnot, advising that the name and powerful in fluence of the Lord Mayor, and the great body of the I Corporation, should be obtained to the undertaking, and expressing a hope of a successful result, under the admini stration of a Parliamentary Commission.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1826 We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunday, and this morning the Etoile dated Monday. The latter contains intelligence from Lisbon to the 11th instant, and a copy of some of the principal articles of the new Portuguese Charter, which was to be pro claimed on the 13th instant. This document, so far as given in the Etoile, will be found in another column. Its provisions appear to be formed on the model of those Governments which have been proved by the experience of ages to be most conducive to the hap piness of mankind ; and its influence on the condition of Portugal, cannot fail to be very great. The arbitrary Government of Spain may well be alarmed at the establishment of a Constitution so rational, in a nation separated from her by such trifling distinctions and divisions as the Portuguese. The following article taken from the Constitutiannel, sleoberi&es- the. enthusiastic -joy testified by the inhibi, tants of 'Lisbon on the "arrival 'of the *easel which brought the Charter. The enthusiasm of the Army is said to have responded to that of the Nation : LISBON, JULY s.—The demi-official intelligence brought hither by the courier of our legation at Paris leaves much doubt on the public mind. There are confused reports with respect to seditious exclamations uttered by the 4th and 7th regiments, but happily an estafette has brought news that may be relied upon from Brazil, and, besides, the corvette Lealdade, late from Rio Janeiro, leaves no doubt with respect to an event which confirms our best hopes, and is likely to put an end to our unhappy dissensions. It would be impossible to describe to you the transports of pleasure manifested by the public, and the consternation of the party of evil-disposed persons. The Count Barbocina, Minister of War, has published this pleasing intelligence at his head-quarters. The en. thusutsm of army has responded to that of the nation. The Apostolical party, who, for some time, were form ing horrible projects, and who openly announced that the English squadron were about to abandon the Tagus, were amazed. The Government gave directions for the publi cation of all the decrees of the Empire, to the great dis pleasure of the Apostolical party, who could no longer hope to prevent the publication of the constitutional charter. The whole population were eager to become acquainted with it, and the most lively interest was manifested in every quarter. The avenues to the Royal Gazette office were crowded with people, who waited impatiently for the first copies of this memorable act emanating from a constitutional Sovereign. The Count Porto Santo, Minister of State, and one of the recently made Peers, has been indisposed for some days. A great deal is said of the discontent of the French Cabinet, but can the Ministers of a constitutional King, who has set the great example followed by Don Pedro, declare themselves, with any thing like decency, the pro!' teeters of despotism. The last hope of the disconted must rest on Spain, and, on the new Ambassador, with which that power threat ens us. However we know our resources and Spain has no right to entail u p on us h er anarchy an d all her mise ries. It is true, however, that the amnesty has given more allum to the apostolical party than the Constitution itself. It may be said that they can alter the latter, but the former admits of no chicanery. They have, in' truth, much to complain of; they are shut out of power, ven geance, and proscription. The spectacle of public union is the most cruel punishment that could be inflicted on them. FRtNCH FUNDS.--PARIS, Jun 22.—Five per Cents, 9 9f. 60c. ; Three per Cents. 66f. ; Bank Stock, 2016 f. ; Reines d e Naples, 721. 70c. ; Rentes d'Espagne, 7kf. ; Royal Spanish Loan, 46f. ; Exchange on London, One Month, 25f. 60e. ; Ditto Three Months, 25f. 40c. The frequent acts of piracy by Greek v esse l s in the Levant, which we have recently had to re cord, and the serious affrays which they have led to, such as that, which it was our painful duty to mention the boats of his Majesty' s yesterday, with ship, Sybille, and another with the boats of the Cambrian, have, we understand, induced the Admiralty to give such orders to his Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean, as we have no doubt, will lead to the spee dy suppression of this system of robbery. Strong me asures against the people engaged in these infamous pursusts are absolutely necessary , and as the attention of our naval forces in the Mediterranean has thus been directed to this o bject, the Greek Pirates will soon be exterminated. It has been unfortunate for the charac ter of the Government of Greece, as well as for that of her people, that acts of piracy should have been so s audaciously committed on her seas. We do not mean to insinuate that the Government has, in the sMallest degree, either sanctioned or encouraged these p rae- - tices—but there are those who think that it has. not taken the means which were in its power to suppress them. We, on the other hand, believe that the Government of Greece has possessed no suds power ; and that the people engaged in these unjusti fiable and infamous acts, were wholly out of its reach. They are principally people belonging to the smaller islands, who; driven to despair by want, had recourse to piracy in the first instance, for the means of sub sistence, and by their success and impunity, have hem confirmed in their lawless occupation. It is probable, too, that the feeling which the inhabitants of the Gre cian Islands entertained, that they had been given tik to their oppressors by all the nations o f Europe, ha° led them to consider all other people a s their enemies, and that they were jtistified in attacking in discr f irni . eately, the ships of all countries, as such , for me anso subsistence. 'Whatever palliation this arg ument Wl' be supposed to afford for the proceeding's of these per sons, the continuance of the system which has Arad . occasioned such serious losses cannot be pern oo l It must be wholly put down, and the persons eaglet in it severely chastised. It may have Be ni a natur ar al consequence of the state of anarchy. and stress, which Greece and her dependencies have been plinig* ed ; but the general interests of commerce require that it should not exist ; and his Majesty's cruisers In the Grecian seas, will soon accomplish tfiat end. We mentioned yesterday the arrival in town iron, Hydra, with dispatches for the Greek Deputies, of Mr. ALLEN, who holds a Commission in the Greek Naval service. We fear there must be so t _ i lne misapprehension in the statement that TtipoHsu ‘)f " been carried by the Greek force by storm, " 'T r * .td ALLEN assigns the latter end of May or the beealling of June for this event, in which ease t he news ID"; have previously reached us by some other cb * 19 He adds, however, that since the establishment °tem new Government, affairs in Greece have the pro 1 ? 1° of taking a more favourable turn, and that Adol7; MIAULIS was waiting with much anxiety the err ! to of Lord COCHRANE, with whom he was disposed I: enter into the most zealous co-operation.

We have received this morning German Papeo a late date, from which we make the following ,racts SEMLIN, JULY 1011 The sanguinary scenes at Constantinople are perre c d t known at Belgrade, yet the greatest tranquillity Prel;,, among the Janissaries.
